Don't step the days of your life
On a treadmill, walk each day
But cover no new ground
There's something more ahead

Exercise the freedom to explore
Just who you are?
But don't abuse that right
It'll drain you of your life

From ahead look behind
In the nick of time
You can mediate demise
In the nick of time

Remembering your friends
Who once occupied your time
The simpler things in life
Isn't it a shame that you've lost
Just what you had
No regrets but lessons that
Live on inside your mind

From ahead look behind
In the nick of time
You can mediate demise
In the nick of time
Turn to yourself
In the nick of time
You can rely on no one else

In the nick of time
